Day 5 Blink and youll miss it

Activity 1 Towering timbers

I do not think logging is good I dont support it. We hurt alot of our native animals and take away there habitat it also wreaks the land underneath. We need trees for oxygen and to absorb greenhouse gas. We need to protect the forest for the animals and people.
